She recently wrote to fans: "These past few days have been hectic. I flew back to New York City on Saturday morning. The good news? I was greeted by snow!! It was beautiful. The sad news? I wasn't going back to New York City to attend school again. I went so I could pack my belongings from my dorm room. Because of my possible taping schedule and my starting to record music, I decided to defer my second semester of New York University. I was so bummed to have to make this decision, but am also very eager to come back to Los Angeles for a little while for work."

Although she hopes to head back to NYU in the future. "I will soon come back to NYU and we will all be together again! In the meantime... Los Angeles, I hope you're ready to have me back," Ashley said.
